Maybe?

If you know anyone there, definitely not.

What really sucks is I genuinely liked the Ram and the plan was to hold onto it. Problem is if the rust gets visible resale/trade-in effectively becomes zero and repairs cost $$.

I drove one of those and thought it was very nice! Tons of power, quiet. If I had a need for a personal pickup I would get one.

Hah! Yeah, I know your feelings regarding Ram trucks. I liked mine, had no mechanical issues. However from a longevity issue, visible rust at 4.5 years old wasn't working for me.

As for the wheel well rust, I've seen it on every brand truck out there. Biggest issue is the folded over lip catching all of the terrible the rear wheels kick up. I would check your current truck for a similar situation and take preventative measures
Yeah, that's the plan. As soon as it dries up outside a bit, the plan is to get a case of fluidfilm and give the undercarriage a bath in it.
